Sweet Pork Tacos with Cilantro Ranch Dressing

I ate 4 of these. Yep, good. Really simple to prepare too! Sometimes I fail at life and we didn't have lettuce. Who doesn't have lettuce for tacos?! Use lettuce on yours. They needed the crunch!

I served these with a very quick homemade "spanish" rice. Bring to a boil one can of Rotel and 6oz tomato sauce. Add 1 cup of rice. Simmer until tender.

Sweet Pork Tacos with Cilantro Ranch Dressing
2-3 pounds pork
3 cans coke {not diet}
1/4 cup brown sugar
dash of garlic salt
1/4 cup water
1 can sliced green chilies
3/4 can enchilada sauce
1 cup brown sugar

put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade. add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 cup brown sugar. marinade for a few hours or overnight.

drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for 3-4 hours {or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get too dry}. remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. shred pork.

in a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar {about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste}. if it looks too thick, add more coke little by little.

 

put the shredded pork and sauce in crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours.
